Hi, try this.

It sounds like you may have disabled the Software Licensing service. If you are unable to get back to Services through normal mode you may try opening through Safe Mode with command prompt by doing the following:
1. Remove all floppy disks, CDs, and DVDs from your computer, and then restart your computer.
2. Click the Start button, click the arrow next to the Lock button, and then click Restart.
3. Do one of the following:
? If your computer has a single operating system installed, press and hold the F8 key as your computer restarts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, you will need to try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then shutting down and restarting your computer.
? If your computer has more than one operating system, use the arrow keys to highlight the operating system you want to start in safe mode, and then press F8.
4. On the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys to highlight Safe Mode with command prompt, press Enter
5. Log on to your computer with a user account that has administrator rights.
Now in the command prompt:
1. Type services.msc, and then press Enter.
2. In the list of services locate Software Licensing
3. Right-click it, select Properties
4. Change “Startup type:” to Automatic, then click OK
5. You may then need to select Software Licensing again then click “Restart the service” located in the top-left corner for it to take effect immediately, or just restart the computer if doing this from Safe Mode.
